……

In the early afternoon of summer, the temperature is significantly higher than in the morning.

Under Chen Boyu's arrangement, dozens of horse-drawn carts and ox carts lined up on the street and walked towards the west gate of Lantian County.

Different from the previous trips, this time, in addition to a large number of horse-drawn carts and ox carts loaded with people and goods, Cheng Zhiji and the group of soldiers in his hands also rode horses, guarding the front and rear of the entire convoy in a certain formation.

Looking at the outside through the half-lifted car curtain, Cheng Zhisi easily called open the gate of the county and let the entire convoy accelerate and start to pass out, Li Anran, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but smile secretly:

"Ha Lu Ha...... There is a villa, a courtyard, three shops, beautiful maids, a large number of dealers and servants, now even travel is such a big pomp, tsk, if you can have a bunch of dog legs by your side, there is nothing to accompany me on the street ** Little lady, a proper landlord and old wealth, childhood dreams have finally come true! ”

Without the obstruction of the defenders, the convoy passed through the doorway of the county city wall smoothly. Considering that it was not early now, after leaving Lantian County, the speed of the convoy also increased.

The appearance of the convoy also aroused the discussion of those ordinary people inside and outside Lantian County, and there were well-informed people, and soon spread the news that Xiaoyao Villa was recruiting workers and buying servants. In the face of the generous wages and related treatments, not to mention the poor people who could not even maintain food and clothing, even those people who had a little family background but were not yet rich were also moved.

The benefits and treatment given by Li Anran are actually not very good, at least I think so. It's just that for the people of Datang time and space, having a stable and enough monthly salary for the whole family to be fed and clothed, maybe there is some surplus money, plus the corresponding benefits during the New Year's holidays is already quite good. The most important thing is that as long as you are willing to sell yourself to the villa, you can get a mansion, and it is a well-equipped mansion.

In the words of later generations, it is a finely decorated farmhouse compound, and you only need to carry your bag to move in. And even if you are unwilling to sell yourself, as long as you sign an employment agreement, you can still enjoy the benefits of renting a compound. As long as you work for one day, you can enjoy the compound for free for one day, and even the food when you go to work every day is covered by the main family, and you can see meat every day.

In the face of such treatment, unless it is the kind of family that has no worries about food and clothing and a good family background, there are a few people who can not be tempted.

In fact, with Li Anran's current net worth in Datang time and space, it is no problem to mention this treatment even further. Not to mention recruiting hundreds of people, even a few thousand people can still be raised well. It's just that under Chen Boyu's reminder, I found out that this Datang time and space also has the unspoken rules of Datang time and space. If you raise the treatment of servants, households, and laborers too highly, then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among those wealthy families.

According to Chen Boyu's opinion at the beginning, the treatment of servants, villagers and laborers only needs to be on par with the market. But Li Anran, as the owner of a village, still set the good benefits that had just been revealed, which were enough to attract a large number of people. The reason why I did this was not because I was brain-dead, one was for temptation, and the other was to cooperate with my identity.

When Li Anran was in the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, one of the reasons why he chose to get himself the identity of a qi refiner was to make those wealthy families and His Majesty Li Er have some scruples. After all, in ancient times, superstition was not limited to the circle of ordinary people, the rich and even the royal family were also devout believers. Even if this so-called piety is only relative, it is enough to cause some scruples with some "spells" and "magic weapons".

Later, after discovering that he was able to travel back and forth between the two time and space, he used some means to show all kinds of miracles, whether it was the appearance of Gu Bangcai, Zheng Chenggong, and Wu Chengen at the beginning, or the arrival of Cheng Chuhei and those soldiers, it was already obvious that the attitude of the emperor Li Shimin towards himself was clearly expressed. In this case, Li Anran naturally does not need to be too cautious like before, after all, a master outside the world must also have the temper and temperament of a master outside the world.

And with Li Anran's personal strength now, as long as he is not facing a sudden assassination, not to mention being able to kill all sides, at least there is no problem in self-preservation. In addition, Cheng Chuhei's team of people with the imperial order are by his side, and it is not bad to test the reaction of those wealthy families and His Majesty Li Er. Of course, when Chen Boyu arranged for someone to spread the news of Xiaoyao Villa's recruitment of servants to buy servants, although he did not reveal someone's true identity, he still talked about those treatments that were much better than the market to compassion, kindness, and kindness.

When the convoy that was slowly speeding up came to the ground where the academy was about to be established and built into a university town in the future, under Li Anran's order, everyone who had been walking for more than half an hour stopped.

There is no need for Li Anran to work on such a thing as making a fire and making rice. Because Chen Boyu arranged it very properly before, it was not a problem for so many people to eat at all. The fragrant coarse bread was enough, and the vegetable broth cooked together with the newly picked wild vegetables from the field and the pork that had been prepared before was cut into small pieces, which was enough to satisfy the servants, farmers, and hired people who were still struggling for food and clothing.

As for the soldiers who turned into nurses, they didn't have a headache for food, and took advantage of the encampment to go around the nearby woods. On the one hand, it was to make sure that the surrounding environment was safe, and on the other hand, it was easy to hunt a few pheasants and hares back. After washing in the stream, they were directly skewered on the branches and roasted, and the two fattest rabbits were delivered to Cheng Chuhei's hands.

Just as Li Faran was standing on the side of the road and watching the people who accompanied him busy with food, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun had already instructed the people arranged by the other courtyard to prepare everything in a shady place with the best location.

"Really...... Young master, this is a rabbit called by a subordinate, please smile. Cheng Zhihe, who came over with two rabbits that had been skinned and gutted and cleaned, said.

"Cheng Jiang...... Cheng Huyuan was polite, but a certain was disrespectful. Under the service of the two sisters, Li Anran, who was sitting on the soft cushion, was not polite, and after smiling, he directly asked his subordinates to take the rabbit and take it to the fire to cook.

"Come, Cheng Huyuan, it's been hard all the way, sit down and rest." Pointing to the empty cushion not far from his side, Li Anran smiled.

"Young Master Xie." Cheng Chuhei, who had already changed into an ordinary dress, was very aware of his task this time, so he was not hypocritical, and after hugging his fists and thanking him, he sat down directly on the cushion next to him.

As Su Xiaomei's maidservant, Xiangling took out a small jar of wine from the box on the side, the corresponding tableware and two plates of snacks and sent them to Cheng Chuhei.

"Cheng Huyuan, please." Picking up the wine that had just been poured by Su Xiaomei, Li Anran said with a smile.

"Young Master, please." Cheng Chuhei, who also picked up the wine bowl, didn't need to drink it to know that the wine in the bowl was made from the best grapes. After raising a glass for a moment, he drank it directly.

Li Anran, who also drank it all, although he was very satisfied with the grape wine produced in the Tang Dynasty, but in this hot summer, drinking like this was a little less refreshing, and immediately asked people to take another wooden basin and the metal container that had been made before.

In Cheng's slightly surprised gaze, the wooden basin was soon filled with water that had just been taken from the stream, and the metal container was poured with clean water in a water bladder and inserted into the basin.

At this time, Li Anran took out a glass bottle from the treasure bag (which has been replaced with a backpack with a larger capacity) that he would carry with him wherever he went, unscrewed the cap, and then poured the powder into the wooden basin, and asked people to quickly stir it with branches.

As the powder dissolved in the stream, wisps of cold began to rise from weak to strong. It didn't take long for the water to solidify, and the metal container in the middle of the tub was quickly fixed by the formation of the ice.

It didn't take long for a basin of clear water to turn into a cold ice cube in front of everyone's eyes, and the pure water in the metal container solidified with the rapid drop in the temperature around it.

Seeing that the ice cubes were OK, Li Anran didn't pay attention to the shocked looks in the eyes of Cheng Chuhei and those subordinates, and was silent on the surface, but in his heart he secretly smiled Su Xiaomei, who had already seen this kind of thing and was relatively calm, instructed his subordinates to take out the clean ice cubes in the metal container and break them and put them in the wine bowl.

"Cheng Huyuan, a little trick, don't take it seriously, it's this grape wine with ice, the taste is really good, come, drink to win." Picking up the grape wine with ice, Li Anran smiled and signaled.

At this time, Cheng Chuhei was completely stunned by the scene he had just seen, and after listening to what he had just said, he couldn't help but think: "Condensation into ice!" Is this just a small trick? So what is the real immortal arts?! ”
